Description

Join RAMP on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, from 11:45 am-1:30 pm for the 34th Annual Changing Attitudes Breaking Barriers Luncheon at Embassy Suites, 416 S Main Street in downtown Rockford, IL, for unforgettable afternoon of inspiration and community impact, headlined by our dynamic keynote speaker, Wesley Hamilton. Wesley is a globally recognized speaker, social entrepreneur, and founder of the Disabled But Not Really Foundation. After overcoming paralysis at 24, he transformed adversity into advocacy, becoming a 2x TEDx speaker, a guest on Netflix’s Queer Eye, and a powerful voice in advocating for inclusion. His story of resilience and purpose reminds us that there are no limits to what’s possible. This year marks RAMP’s 45th anniversary - four and a half decades of advancing equity, independence, and accessibility for people with disabilities in our community. Celebrate this milestone, reflect on RAMP's impact, and look ahead to the future we are building together. The Annual Luncheon will showcase RAMP’s vital services, recognize outstanding community partners, and share inspiring stories of success that demonstrate the power of inclusion.
